Description

The Mothers of Invention Freak Out 1966 Gatefold Waddell Pressing. 
I paid a lot of money to get this from acoustic sounds and you can see it’s from the NY collection they had on sale awhile back. They have this as a M- but it’s a VG+ on both vinyl. They are about as good as you can find on these old pressings but not quite a M- either.
